“Being able to have a real and tangible input in the design process is one of the best aspects of working for HASSELL as a student or graduate. Informal and formal design reviews are truly egalitarian, and fresh perspectives or ideas are welcome and encouraged. The energy that this democratic process creates within a team is incredible, and all team members are left with a sense of ownership of the work produced.” Alix Smith, Graduate of Architecture

At HASSELL, there is a desire here to challenge colleagues and clients alike to do more with the places we design. Our goal is to unlock the social economic and cultural value places can create and, ultimately, to design places people love.

We are an international studio of architects, interior designers, landscape architects, urban designers, planners and other professionals, working collaboratively across a wide variety of sectors.

The way we work

We see ourselves as a democracy of design thinking, where every idea is worthy of consideration – whoever makes it, and whatever discipline they’re from. This is one of the reasons why HASSELL is a great place to work.

“I wanted to join HASSELL because it is an international practice. When I was trying to understand the work HASSELL was developing, it looked very creative, innovative and bold – there was an adventurous spirit about it. Everyone I spoke to at HASSELL was consistent in what they said; their desire to be brave…” Julian Gitsham, HASSELL Principal, UK
